bride," reunited. talking true love, cast secrets and what it's like to star in a movie classic. >> good morning, america. >> have fun storming the castle. good morning, everyone. we'll have some fun, a little bit later in the morning. but we have a lot of news this morning. a major health alert for a common medical test that every man needs to hear and why it could be harming you. dr. richard besser's standing by. >> we are told every year, get that prostate test. now, a major study saying no. rich will explain it. also, we're learning a lot more about the final days of steve jobs. he knew it was time. and he took the time to say good-bye. he had his wife, children and friends in close. he also opened up to his biographer, who is going to be here on "gma" in a couple of weeks, because he wanted his

kids to know about his work. we're going to begin with the latest development in the disappearance of 10-month-old lisa irwin, from her crib in the middle of the night. we're going to talk to her parents in just a minute. but first, abc's dan harris has the very latest for us from kansas city, for us. good morning, dan. >> reporter: good morning, to you. the parents of baby irwin insist they're fully cooperating with police. they say they take issue with the way they're being treated by detectives. they say investigators have tried to turn them against one another. they have accused the mother of failing a polygraph test. in the three days since their 10-month-old baby, lisa, nicknamed pumpkin pie went missing. >> we were running around the house, screaming for her. >> reporter: her parents, jeremy irwin and deborah bradley, have consistently said she disappeared in the middle of the night. >> please, bring her home.

>> reporter: and they have also consistently cooperated with kansas city police. but late thursday, police announced that the parents had suddenly stopped cooperating. does that make you think, does that make the department think, they had something to do with lisa's disappearance? >> again, everything's on the table, as they've been saying for three days now. >> reporter: if they go from cooperating to not cooperating, i imagine that has to raise some obvious questions. >> it's a fair conclusion for you to draw. i can't say that matter of factually for the detectives. >> reporter: the sister of the baby's father held a news conference, refuting the statement from the police. >> we've been cooperating from day one. and we continue to assist police in the investigation. >> reporter: the family says the parents have repeatedly told the same story. that their baby vanished on the one night that the father has ever worked an overnight shift. and the one night that the mother has ever left the front door unlocked. while insisting they are still cooperating, a family source told "good morning america" they were displeased with how the

parents were treated on thursday, during a day-long questioning. now, the police insist they're still actively investigating this case. however, in the immediate aftermath of their announcement overnight that the parents are no longer cooperating, we saw some dramatic changes here. they shut down their mobile command post, which was located justice skus a short ways away from the irwin family home, which is behind me. and they also took down the police crime scene tape here. robin, back to you. >> dan, thank you. and joining us from kansas city are lisa's parents, jeremy irwin and deborah bradley. i know this is a very difficult morning again for you both. and appreciate you taking some time with us. you heard in dan harris' report that the police are claiming that you have stopped cooperating. is that true, debbie? >> no, not at all. since all this has happened, we've never stopped cooperating. >> jeremy, what would have led

police to believe that you stopped cooperating? what happened? >> we were in interrogation for a really long time tuesday. we were there again yesterday, answering questions. and i just -- i couldn't take it anymore. i told them i had to have a break. i told them i couldn't do it anymore. i couldn't answer anymore questions today. and i asked to be let go. so, they let us -- they let me go from the police station. and then, an hour later, when we saw the press conference from them. >> it's commonplace, unfortunately, with something like this, that the police look at the family first because you were the last to see your precious, little girl. and i know, debbie, you and jeremy have told our team there on the ground in kansas city, led by dan harris, debbie you have said that the police have

accused you outright? have told you that? >> from the start, they've -- when i first -- they first questioned me, it -- wednesday, it turned into, you did it. and they took the picture down from the table. and they said, look at your baby and do what's right for her. just tell everybody where she is so she can come home. and i kept saying, i don't know, i don't know, i don't know. 11 hours of it. and i just sat there. i mean, i didn't even ask -- i didn't even ask to leave. i didn't ask for it to stop. i wanted it to. but i didn't ask. i just let them keep asking questions until they were done. >> and you've also told our team that the police are claiming that you have failed a polygraph

test. is that true? >> yeah. yesterday, we went in. we called someone and told them, you know, we have more suspects. it seemed like they were going to talk to us in the car. and then, they separated us. we don't want anybody to feel like we were angry or were ungrateful. we appreciate everything that everybody has done t try to bring her home. and that's our main goal. i don't care what they've done to me. i don't care what they say about me. i don't care what anybody says about me. i just want her to come home. our focus is lisa. our lisa coming home, to be with us, where she belongs. and whatever i've got to do to bring her home, we'll do it.

>> so, both of you set the record straight because you know when people hear that the police are claiming all these things and say that you have stopped cooperating, that they become skeptical and suspicious. >> right. >> so, set the record straight right now and reassure people. did you have anything to do with the abduction of your daughter? >> absolutely not. >> no. >> we do -- we cannot stress enough this to the kansas city police department. this is their job. this is part of the process. and we appreciate everything that they've done. and all the volunteers and the search and rescue and everybody that's -- we've got strangers making up facebooks in her name. and the fbi has done everything. if we forgot anyone, we're

sorry. it's hard to remember everything right now. but we really appreciate everything everyone has done. and we just want to bring lisa home. >> jeremy and deborah, we appreciate you talking with us this morning. please, take care. >> thank you for having us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> again, we're asking if you have any information, go to our website, goodmorningamerica.com at yahoo! we turn, now, to josh elliott, for other stories developing right now. good morning, josh. >> good morning. we're going to begin with breaking news today. an entire town in illinois has been evacuated at this hour because of a major train derailment. about 60 cars, many of them carrying alcohol, crashed and exploded into what you see there, a massive fireball. no injuries have been reported. but all 800 people in the town of tiskilwa have been evacuated. and we'll have much more information as it becomes available this morning. we turn, now, to the new arrests overnight in the anti-wall street protests. police arresting nearly two dozen protesters near california's capital. while about a dozen others were

arrested after marching into a bank of america in los angeles. it all comes as the government releases the monthly jobs report this morning. and the news there is not expected to be good. abc's jake tapper is watching it all from washington and joins us now. jake? >> reporter: good morning, josh. that's right. the white house is bracing itself for another expected weak jobs report. economists predict about 60,000 jobs were created in the month of september. that's not nearly enough to keep up, even with the rate of population growth, let alone to make a dent in the nation's unemployment rate, which is about 9.1%. that would make five-straight months of little or no job growth. we're expecting the white house will say, it's yet another reason for the president's jobs bill to be passed as soon as possible. josh? >> all right, jake tapper. thanks for that. there are long faces in this studio and times square because of this. the tigers of detroit, eliminating the yankees from the postseason. the sky is falling over the

bronx. the tigers move on to face the texas rangers in the alcs. and i say on behalf of all of us on the west coast, ha, ha. >> oh. >> josh, there's another way to do that. detroit needs some help. it's good to see good news out of detroit. >> that, too. hey, i love detroit. >> the tigers deserve it, all the way. oh, boy. you need protection. >> you do. we're going to turn, now, to a major health alert for tens of thousands of men who thought screening for prostate cancer was good for good health. a panel says don't get the tests because they don't save lives and they actually cause problems. this is a huge change. dr. richard besser here to break it down. i was surprised. >> this is sure to be controversial. the panel now says men age 50 should not have routine testing for prostate cancer with the psa. it's looking at new evidence. two, new studies that question

whether there's any benefit in saving lives. >> they say up to 30,000 men may have died because of these tests. as a doctor, you go along with this recommendation. >> here's the thing. most people by the time they die, actually have prostate cancer cells in their body. they're growing slowly. they're not causing any harm. this test can't tell the difference between those cells that are going to cause problems and those that are just there. and surgery has consequences. some of the risks, nearly half of the men who have prostate cancer surgery will have sexual dysfunction. many will have urinary incontinence. while they're not deadly, they have major impacts on people's lives. >> the risk of treatment could be far greater than the reward. and given all the confusion that's so certain to be out there right now, what should all these men do? >> the american cancer society has recommendations that i think are realistic. men at age 50 need to have a conversation with their doctor so they understand the benefits and the risks of screening and

future testing or surgery. if you have family risk factors, african-americans or a family relative who died from prostate cancer, earlier testing should be done. i looked at the evidence for myself. and when i saw my doctor at age 50, i decided not to be tested. but each person has to make that decision, weighing the benefits and risks. >> with the confusion we had over mammograms a couple of years ago, to wait until 50, not 40. we turn, now, to the investigation of the secretive billionaire brothers who are a huge financial force in the conservative movement here in the u.s. contributing over $100 million by some estimates. now, their company attracting some unwanted attention for questionable activity. abc's brian ross has been looking into this. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the billionaire koch brothers, david and charles, are masters trying to keep secrets, for political and business dealings. now, the covers have been

partially pulled back on their oil company. but bloomberg markets call it's secret sins. other than a night out on new york's cultural scene, the koches rarely appear or speak in public. but on this occasion, a documentary filmmaker was rolling, as david koch appeared before tea party leaders and spoke of american values. >> the american dream of free interprides, capitalism, is alive and well. >> reporter: now, questions are being raised about the american values of the source of the koch's wealth, koch industries, a $100 billion a year oil and energy company, based in wichita, kansas. this industry of bloomberg markets says one koch subsidiary was trading with iran. and another in france was paying bribes to get business in six different countries. koch industries admits the statements are violations of criminal law.

>> a document right there in the court record, out of the lips of koch industries. >> abc news. how do you respond to allegat n allegations? >> reporter: david koch declined to speak to abc news when we caught up with him in new york city. the company says it fired the people responsible for the bribes. but as a private company, it was able to keep all of that secret until this week's article. >> there's enough of these payments that i think any prosecutor would want to look further. >> reporter: as for the trading with iran, it involved key components for a state-owned petrol chemical plant, despite a u.s. ban on trade with iran since 1995. one order was placed the day after president bush told congress iran continued to be a threat to the u.s. >> weapons of mass destruction supports terror. >> reporter: koch industries says the trade with iran was legal because it was done through a foreign subsidiary and

no americans were involved. >> you're still dealing with a state that is considered by the u.s. state department to be a sponsor of terrorism. >> reporter: koch industries says it voluntarily stopped trading with iran in 2006. but the new revelations that it went on, even through a subsidiary, and other international companies also traded with iran. but the fact it took place with this company is not going to sit well with conservative friends in congress and the tea party. >> have a good weekend. we're going to turn, now, to an intimate look at the final days of steve jobs. when he stopped down from apple in august, he knew it was time to say good-bye to friends and family. and abc's neal karlinsky had a chance to speak to some of those closest to jobs in those last weeks. >> reporter: steve jobs' sister, mona simpson says, in his final weeks, jobs biggest concerns were for those who depended on him. his tone was tenderly apologetic, he said. at the end, he flt he had to leave us. his friend and doctor, dean

ornish, said jobs sent what little time he had saying good-bye. >> it was special to have lunch and just talk about things. >> reporter: jobs shared a story about an anniversary present he gave to his wife, laurene. >> he made her a handmade box. wrote a hand-written note, love note. talked about how we had good times. we had hard times. but we never had bad times. and the love between them was so palpable and so beautiful. >> reporter: the most surprising revelation since his death are about steve jobs the man, the father of four. >> i asked him, what was it like to be a parent? and he said, dean, it's 10,000-times cooler than anything i've ever done. i said you've done a lot of interesting things. that says a lot. and he said, that's probably an underestimation. when you have a child, your heart is prefer outside your body. >> reporter: and in the new "time" magazine cover story, walter isaacson revealed more insights from jobs himself.

revealing exclusive conversations for his book. isaacson last saw jobs at home, before his death. he moved to a downstairs bedroom because he was too weak to climb up and down stairs. he was curled up under a blanket, clearly in pain. but his mind, still sharp. the author asked him one more question. why after a lifetime of privacy, was he so eager to open up for 50 interviews and a book? i wanted my kids to know me. i wasn't always there for them and i wanted them to know why and understand what i did. it's just so powerful. on a different note, recall those black neck turtlenecks that steve jobs always wore. the company that makes them, st. croix, says since his death, they've been flying off the selves. a 100% sales increase, despite a hefty price tag at $175 a shirt. >> that is interesting. thanks. that biography is going to fly off the shelves. and walter isaacson will be here

monday the 24th. now, some weather and sam? >> happy friday. let's talk about the cold air in the northeast this morning. the 40s in for new york and boston. this is your last chilly morning. you'll start to warm up in the weekend. a very warm week next week. check out flagstaff at 42. vegas will stay in the 60s. this is a short-lived cool spell. all of that cold air in the west, there will be strong storms from abilene to fargo. if you need to hear that again, texas is getting thunderstorms that this time includes some rain and it will for the next several days. we'll talk about that in the next half hour.

"20/20" co-anchor, elizabeth vargas, has been covering the story. i can't believe it was monday. >> that's right. amanda knox is in a secluded location, reconnecting with family and old friends. many of them had flown to italy during her four years in incarceration to support her. curt knox revealed on the night amanda an her former italian boyfriend, raffaele sollecito were set free, they were allowed for the first time to share a prison van back to jail. the first time for two people who went through the unimaginable together, share the euphoria of being freed. with amanda knox and raffaele

sollecito exonerated from their nightmare trial, amanda's father, curt, says they were able to share a moment before they went free. >> the only time they got to talk was after the verdict, when they were getting ready to be whisked away in the cars. they hold something in common. i'm sure there will be a time where they talk about things. >> reporter: and that time could come soon. the sollecitos have been invited to visit the family in seattle. >> whether they take us up on that is too early to tell. i know that he is experiencing the things that amanda is experiencing. >> reporter: in his courtroom plea for freedom, raff jell sollecito showed a bracelet he had worn for three years, saying free amanda and raphaelle. >> it was meaningful. now, it's over. we can try to move on. >> reporter: in seattle, amanda's catching up on so many things she's missed. she'd never seen an ipad.

never tweeted. when amanda was freed, david letterman's top ten list of things she was thinking included -- >> who is justin bieber? >> reporter: turns out, letterman was right. she had never heard of the teen idol, either. >> there are things that she has missed and people she won't recognize. >> reporter: her family hopes that soon amanda will return to some semblance of the life she left behind. >> it's a big relief. but now, kind of another chapter begins. >> another chapter. but her first meal was an italian import, pizza. she has a taste for exotic food, according to her family. >> all right. have a great weekend, elizabeth. thank you for your coverage all week long on this. we turn to the latest on the manslaughter trial of michael jackson's doctor. prosecutors focused on fingerprint evidence they say implicates conrad murray. but his defense team scored some points, too.

abc's jim avila is on the case for us in los angeles. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. the trial is in a new phase, the evidence. and the prosecution came out smoking with a double-barreled attack on the main defense contention that it wasn't conrad murray, but michael jackson had killed himself. ♪ it's rehearsal night, june 24th, 2009. over the next 12 hours, michael jackson comes home to his rented mansion, throws his jacket on the bathroom floor and tries to sleep. the conrad murray defense team told the jury in opening statements, jackson was a desperate insomniac. >> michael jackson swallowed up to eight pills on his own, without telling his doctor. michael jackson self-administered an additional dose of propofol. >> reporter: but the prosecution's latest witness, the l.a. county coroner's toxicologist, said the amount of residual drugs in michael jackson's stomach was hardly enough to be fatal. it's minuscule. and the amount of propofol, from

swallowing, 0.13%. >> is that close enough? >> to equate to that, yes. >> reporter: as "good morning america" first reported they would, prosecutors introduced evidence that shows michael jackson's prints are not on any propofol bottles. not the siringe, not the i.v. bag, not the port in the i.v. line, used to inject drugs into his family. also, conrad murray's left index finger print is on the propofol bottle that prosecutors say was dripping in the i.v. when jackson died. >> was there enough propofol that that is what ended up causing the death? and was it dr. murray who administered it. >> reporter: now, not all the fingerprint evidence was bad for the defense. in fact, there are mystery prints on the sigh lean bag. prints that didn't belong to conrad murray, michael jackson. they don't know who they

belonged to. the opening may they say that someone else was in that room when michael jackson died. on the stand today, we get the police officer who did the two-hour interview with conrad murray. they're expected to play those tapes today. >> jim, thanks. let's bring in our legal analyst, dan abrams. three, key facts on fingerprints. no on michael jackson. yes on conrad murray. and a mystery print. >> fingerprint evidence can be confusing. if you find a fingerprint, that means someone was there. if you don't find someone's fingerprint, it doesn't necessarily mean the person wasn't there. while sometimes in cases we see someone say, aha, there's no fingerprint. that proves he wasn't there. that doesn't prove anything, the fact there was no fingerprint. but the fact that conrad murray's fingerprint was there is significant. the fact that jackson's weren't, it's not irrelevant. but it's not going to be as positive.

remember in the o.j. simpson case, again and again they would attack the evidence. who were these other people? whose fingerprints were they? is the defense going to claim that a whole cadre of people came into michael jackson's bedroom to administer propofol? >> the case that the defense made in questioning the whole investigation. >> i think they made a little bit of headway. i don't think this is the strongest part of their defense, this notion that the investigation was so sloppy. we see this in a lot of cases. and very, very rarely does it need to a successful defense where the defense team can say, well, the prosecution -- more importantly, the investigators were sloppy. and therefore, my client should be found not guilty. they try it. it's very, very hard to win on that. so, i don't blame them for doing it. but i wouldn't expect to see it make or break the case. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. now, let's get weather from sam. >> more snow pictures. idaho falls. here's what's interesting about these pictures. we're going to show you the leaves on the trees, the flowers

on the ground, and snow on top of the trees. when that happens, it tends to bring the trees down because the snow stays on the leaves. it's heavy. it brings the trees toppling right down. that was part of a big area of snow that went from california into the rockies, with one to two feet of snow in some locations. here's where we set up with this western flow all the way across the gulf of mexico. it's going to run up on the front that brought that mountain snow and bring some heavy rain. our friends in oklahoma and north texas will benefit from this. three to six inches of rain over the next couple of days. some of this will be in heavy downpours. they need that rai >> all that weather was brought to you by macy's?

now, for the latest for the search for robyn gardner, the american woman who vanished in aruba more than two months ago. a team of dogs are searching the island, as her traveling campaign companion is still

there. >> reporter: cadaver dogs were on aruba this week, searching for american tourist, robyn gardner. >> the dogs searching two-plus months after the fact. whatever scent of human decomposition they expected to find is long gone. >> reporter: as we walk the beach with jose baez, attorney for gardner's traveling companion, gary giordano, a helicopter circled overhead. >> they went into the water around that corner there. >> reporter: giordano has been detained for five weeks in this prison by the sea, in connection with the case. according to giordano, he was snorkeling with gardner when she was carried away by the current. >> it's unfortunate what's happening to him. it angers me, which is why i got

involved. >> reporter: giordano has not been charged crime. perhaps most troubling, a $1.5 million insurance policy, that giordano. ed for robyn gardner the day before they left for aruba. days after robyn's disappearance, giordano called american express travel four times asking about redeeming the policy. documents show that the american express person on the other end of the phone says, gary sounded excited like he won the lottery. the person was so troubled that they called the police. >> well, i think if they're going to release the transcripts, they could release the audio. then, we can hear for ourselves. >> reporter: you seem to be attracted to difficult cases. >> i look at each case as a challenge. you can't do this with passion if you don't have a sincere desire to help people. >> as for giordano, he could be

held legally for questioning down there until the end of the month. but the solicitor general of the island is now telling us he plans to ask for an extension on that. authorities are not convinced that giordano is telling the whole truth about exactly what happened to robyn gardner. >> here it is more than two months later now. john, thank you very much. you can see more of john's reporting tonight on "nightline" after late local news. coming up, we have amazing movie magic ahead, including an inconceivable reunion of the cast of "the princess bride." well, it just might surprise you. because this is how people and business connect. feeling safe and secure that important letters and information don't get lost in thin air. or disappear with a click. but are delivered. from person to person. and, sometimes, even face to face. have a great day. you too. for some of the best ways to connect and protect... it's all in the mail. learn more at usps.com/mail.
